Though interested in Christian Science only two years, I feel that I have sadly procrastinated in not sending to the field my acknowledgment of a few of my blessings at least, for it would take too much space to enumerate all those which have come to me since I turned to Truth for help. The dear friend who first brought the subject to my attention was so determined I should know its real meaning that although I scoffed at the idea of help from such a source, eventually, through the very great kindness of an absent practitioner, I was gently led to see the allness of God and that nothing is impossible with Him. In a few weeks' treatment I was entirely healed of nervous exhaustion from which I had suffered for ten years, having had, during that time, seven doctors in consultation, none of whom was able to give me any relief.

While I was being treated by the practitioner for a sense of lack, having faced many material losses in the past two years, I was also overjoyed to find I had no more need for glasses, which I had been compelled to wear for twenty-three years. When in California four years ago I had been forced to consult a specialist, who informed me that my eyes were in such a condition I would never be able to take off glasses except upon retiring at night, which seemed all too true, for I many times tried going without them, only to suffer intensely for hours afterward. He also said I would require to have the lenses changed every two years. Instead of all this I am able to sew all day long, and use my eyes in any and every way necessary.

For these healings I shall never cease to be grateful, though the spiritual uplift and right concept of God far exceed all other blessings and give strength and courage to meet the daily requirements. My gratitude goes out to our wonderful Leader, who labored so long and patiently that all suffering humanity should know the truth that frees from all discords and gives us a brighter, healthier, and happier outlook on life.
